[jesterkfc]

hello I am trying to back up a dvd to a dvd-r i have done about 20 so far but now I cant get the disc to work i have used nero and dycriptor to burn and neithe r work it looks like it works but then when i put the disc that i burned in it i blank but it does say burning process complete when i and done burning i am lost thanks

I guess your typos might be due to your distracting avatar! LOL

Are you saying your media is still blank? I had that when I started out. Check out www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters for brand compatibility for your writer.

Also check that your DMA is enabled on your IDE channels. It has the annoying habit of dropping to PIO sometimes :-(

[jesterkfc]

where do i find the dma ide channels i am sure my compatibility is right because i have done about 20 disc so far and they all work but i think i might have switched something trying to get the godfather part 2 to work now it just wont burn when i put the disc back in my computer after it has burned it says it can not be used until it is formated do i have to format the disc before using them i dont remember doing that before but i have had alot on my mind thanks for the reply btw

[jesterkfc]

oh ya i changed my psl before to burn resident evil 2 do i have to change them back or something ?

[jesterkfc]

when i try burning the iso file with nero it say that i am putting a cd in but i do have a dvd-r in anyway to correct this please help me

[jesterkfc]

and my dvd writter says it is a dvd-r man i am getting pissed I am going threw disc like water :( when i try to burn with nero it says it is a cd

jesterkfc: About your avatar, could you change it to something less provacative, as children visit this forum as well.

Have you tried re-installing Nero?

[sfheath]

And try a ReWritable.

BTW, what is oh ya i changed my psl before :

[jesterkfc]

yes i did reinstall nero and shrink still same problems i changed the psl so i was able to burn resident evil part 2 i was wondering if i was suppose to change something back

[sfheath]

In Nero, does your burner say DVD in the 'Choose Recorder' dialogue?

What is psl?

[TRI0N]

He's refering to the Protective Sectors List used by DVD Decrypter.

If you use version 3.5.2.o if DVD Decrypter you won't need to load a PSL File anymore.

[sfheath]

thanks :-)

[jesterkfc]

i uninstalled both shrink and nero and now it woks but only if i burn with dycriptor nero still just gives me a blank disc after it burns the the disc is useless :(

[TRI0N]

"dycriptor nero"

Okay I'm confussed I must admit.

[sfheath]

it almost makes sense if you put a comma between the dycriptor and nero ... but then he's uninstalled nero? ;-)

[jesterkfc]

i uninstalled nero and shrink but then reinstalled them both i can burn with dycriptor but not with nero it still gives me a blank disc even thow it seems everything works fine still a blank disc that is unuseable sorry about the , grammer nazi`s

[sfheath]

If you're burning ok with Decrypter then it seems hardware is all ok and media.
What version Nero is it and have you installed anything else recently?

[jesterkfc]

it is the latest nero and no i have not installed anything new thanks

[TRI0N]

Try using a utility that nero has put out to clean out old drivers that might be conflicting and registry entries that are no longer valid with nerwer versions of Nero.

Grab it here.

[jesterkfc]

ok i did this but i extracted the files to my hard drive not my disc drive cause i dont know how to do this it said there were some registry errors it corrected but when i tried the driver cleaner tool it said no drivers found ? thanks maybee i did something wrong

[jesterkfc]

ok i sent them to the dvd-r drive and it said they were waiting to be written so i whent to the drive and opened them and it did the same thing i will try it and see if this fixed it thanks
